METU-Defocusing Beam Line (METU-DBL) Project has been started in August 2015 and aims to construct a beam line at Turkish Atomic Energy Authority Sarayköy Nuclear Education and Research Center Proton Accelerator Facility to perform Single Event Effect (SEE) tests for the first time in Turkey. The METU-DBL is 8m-long and has quadrupole magnets to enlarge the beam size and collimators to reduce the flux. When complete the METU-DBL will provide a beam that is suitable according to ESA ESCC No. 25100 Single Event Effects Test Method and Guidelines standard. The METU-DBL beam size is 15.40cm x 21.55cm and the flux will be variable between 10⁵ p/cm²/s and 10¹⁰ p/cm²/s. The METU-DBL will serve space, particle, nuclear and medical physics communities starting from 2018 with performing irradiation tests. A preliminary test setup is being constructed towards first tests in March 2017. The beam size will be 6cm x 8cm and the flux will be 1.4x10⁹ p/cm²/s for preliminary test setup. The METU-DBL project construction status for the preliminary test setup is presented in this poster.

Proposal for an irradiation facility at the TAEK SANAEM Proton Accelerator Facility Demirköz, Melahat Bilge; KIZILÖREN, DİLEK; Apsimon, R. (Elsevier BV, 2013-12-01) Turkish Atomic Energy Authority's (TAEK's) Proton Accelerator Facility in Ankara, Turkey, has been inaugurated in May 2012 and is under the process of being certified for commercial radio-isotope production. Three of the four arms of the 30 MeV cyclotron are being used for radio-isotope production, while the fourth is foreseen for research and development of novel ideas and methods. The cyclotron can vary the beam current between 12 mu A and 1.2 mA, sufficient for irradiation tests for semiconductor materia...
Experimental Investigation of the Original Project of Yukari Kalekoy Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant Spillway Göğüş, Mustafa; Altan Sakarya, Ayşe Burcu; Köken, Mete (Elsevier BV; 2016-06-17) Hydraulic model tests of the spillway of Yukar Kalekoy Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant (HPP) were carried out at Hydromechanics Laboratory of Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara. In order to investigate the flow conditions in the approach channel, over the weir structure, around the spillway piers, along the spillway chute channels and after the flip buckets, and also to observe the performance of the aeration devices, a model of 1/70 length scale was constructed. The model area covers an abou...
Experimental study of different silicon sensor options for the upgrade of the CMS Outer Tracker Sirunyan, A. M.; et. al. (IOP Publishing, 2020-04-01) During the high-luminosity phase of the LHC (HL-LHC), planned to start in 2027, the accelerator is expected to deliver an instantaneous peak luminosity of up to 7.5 x 10(34) cm(-2) s(-1). A total integrated luminosity of 3000 or even 4000 fb(-1) is foreseen to be delivered to the general purpose detectors ATLAS and CMS over a decade, thereby increasing the discovery potential of the LHC experiments significantly. The CMS detector will undergo a major upgrade for the HL-LHC, with entirely new tracking detect...
Comparative analysis of the international regulations and guidelines related to the seismic hazard assessment for nuclear facilities Güner, Barı; Gülerce, Zeynep; Department of Earthquake Studies (2019) Turkey intends to build and operate twelve nuclear reactor units in the next ten years; therefore, the regulatory body of Turkey needs a systematic, comprehensive, and up-to-date seismic hazard assessment (SHA) guideline that is applicable for all candidate designs and compatible with the international legislative structures. To facilitate towards this goal, current SHA practice and related regulatory requirements of the leading countries, international organizations, and Turkey are evaluated and compared b...
Overview of the beam emission spectroscopy diagnostic system on the National Spherical Torus Experiment Smith, D. R.; Feder, H.; Feder, R.; Fonck, R. J.; Labik, G.; McKee, G. R.; Schoenbeck, N.; Stratton, B. C.; Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; Winz, G. (AIP Publishing, 2010-10-01) A beam emission spectroscopy (BES) system has been installed on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) to study ion gyroscale fluctuations. The BES system measures D-alpha emission from a deuterium neutral heating beam. The system includes two optical views centered at r/a approximate to 0.45 and 0.85 and aligned to magnetic field pitch angles at the neutral beam. f/1.5 collection optics produce 2-3 cm spot sizes at the neutral beam. The initial channel layout includes radial arrays, poloidal arrays...
